Yep, it’s been half an hour and no dropouts… I’m calling it, my lovely new BBC Micro B is fixed :)
Yay! Soooo excited to play with it tomorrow 🥳
Here’s a before video:

And an after:

And the issue, for anyone else who stumbles on this thread, was the 16MHz oscillator circuit (marked X1 on the main board).
Also, I could only find a lot of 50 of them, so if anyone needs one, just hit me up and I’ll send it to you :)
Huge thanks to the folks on the stardot.org.uk for sharing the fix: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=246304#p246304
